Fresh Fodder: New DVD Releases â€“ 12/4/07

Sorry it's a day late, kids. I am new at this. If you ran out to buy any of these yesterday, drop me a comment.

Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End
Two editions of this DVD dropped yesterday; one is the widescreen, but for an extra $5, you can have a two-disc collector's edition. What does five bucks buy these days? A bit of movie treasure, says Wired. Features include:

 Anatomy of a Scene: The Maelstrom - The Special Effects Supervisor calls the scene the 'Super Bowl of the motion picture business'
 Keith & the Captain - Johnny Depp and his inspiration for Sparrow, Keith Richards, on the set
 Tale of the Many Jacks - The staging of the scene loaded with Jacks
 Deleted Scenes - 2 short scenes with commentary by Gore Verbinski
 Hoist the Colours - Hans Zimmer and Verbinski come up with the first song in the film
 The World of Chow Yun Fat - Fat's a fan of Pirates and the affection was apparently mutual
 Inside the Brethen Court - Details on each Pirate Lord
 Masters of Design - 5 separate featurettes with behind-the-scenes details on designing the props, the costumes, the creatures, and the set

Superbad: Unrated
Fans will be McLovin this 2-disc release. If youâ€™re not up for the extended party, thereâ€™s also a single-disc release. Blu-ray owners also have the option to use the â€œSuperbad Supermeterâ€ to keep track of the â€œlewd and crudeâ€ lingo in the movie.
